Microlab Series
Automated On-Site Oil Analyzer For Fleets
MicroLab 30/40 is fully automated on-site oil analyzer for mining and transportation fleets
Features & Benefits
The MicroLab Series is a fully automated oil analyzer that provides diagnostic analysis of engine, generator, gear box, hydraulics, power steering, and transmission fluids. The MicroLab is used in virtually every industry that operates equipment powered by engines including: automotive, trucking, energy, mining, heavy equipment, government (military, municipal).
ASTM Compliance
he MicroLab is compliant with ASTM D7417 “Standard Test Method Analysis of In-Service Lubricants Using Particular Four-Part Integrated Tester (Atomic Emission Spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, Viscosity, and Laser Particle Counter)
MicroLab Options
The MicroLab is available in two versions depending on your application needs.
MicroLab 30 – Provides automated comprehensive diagnostic analysis of engine, generator, gear box, power steering, and transmission fluids.
MicroLab 40 – Provides automated comprehensive diagnostic analysis of engine, generator, gear box, hydraulics, power steering, and transmission fluids. Recommended if particle count is needed for hydraulics.
Highlights
Chemistry
The MicroLab infrared spectrometer measures six key parameters which indicate potential oil degradation and contamination. Both the MicroLab 30 and 40 provide:
- Oil degradation: oxidation, nitration, total base number
- Oil contamination: soot, water, glycol
Elemental Analysis
The MicroLab Optical Emission Spectrometer quantifies wear metals caused from mechanical components, as well as other elements from oil additives and contamination.
- Basic metals include: Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mo, K, Si, Na, Sn
- Extended metals include: Ba, B, Ca, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, Ti, V, Zin
Viscosity
The MicroLab Dual Temperature Viscometer (DTV) provides kinematic viscosity analysis which can identify potential oil degradation or contamination.
- Kinematic viscosity at 40°C and 100 °C
- Viscosity index (VI)
Particle Count
The MicroLab 40 is equipped with a particle counter to measure particle contamination which is crucial for maintaining hydraulic systems, compressors and turbines.
- Gross particle count
- ISO particle size
Dimensions
- 29” (L) x 30” (W) x 26” (H) (74cm x 76cm x 66cm)
- Weight 130 lbs. (59 kg)
Accessories & Consumables
To keep your MicroLab running in top condition, it is important to use the recommended cleaning and standardization fluids.
- CheckFlush is specially designed to clean the lines in the MicroLab between samples. This prevents cross-over contamination and keeps your instrument running its best.
- The standardization fluids are designed for calibration of the instrument. Your maintenance practices should follow the prescribed standardization process to ensure your results are accurate.
